"Most of the stuff this time of year is really fresh, I really like the snap peas. For salads, I can go Oriental or use a lot of herbs in different Italian dishes. Salads are a big part of my life, also fresh soups, so I always get lettuce, carrots, onions and celery. Anything after that makes it that much more health-conscious for me."

"I like to grill or bake squash, make lots of sauces with them, cook peppers with them or even mix fruit with them. I make my own sauces, usually with vinegar, mustard and fresh, fresh tarragon."

"I come here for the fresh greens. The lettuce lasts for at least two weeks in my refrigerator. I come for strawberries every week, get three baskets and devour them before the week is over. The tomatoes will be coming in soon, and the beets and other root vegetables. Today, zucchinis are out, they're looking good with thin skins."

"I like to steam veggies and make fresh salads a lot. I enjoy anything with fruit and a little vanilla ice cream. Whatever is in season goes into my salad mixes, especially the sweet and spicy lettuce, it's delicious! I love Henry's olive oil, I use it with everything. The root vegetables and greens grow all the time, so we often have salads and soups."

"I sauté the zucchini and yellow squash with onions, always an early season favorite for me, it's like the beginning of summer. I can't wait for the tomatoes to use for my pasta sauces. Whatever is in season, it all goes in."
